Although Meng Qidi's praise was perfunctory, Ling Xiao was still very happy.
He shook the basket and asked, "Braised rabbit head?"
Meng Qidi: "Keep the little ones and take the ones we have at home."
Ling Xiao smiled, "Will Little Orange cry?"
Those rabbits in the backyard must have been raised by Xiaochengzi for half a year. They were fed vegetable leaves every day and it was said that they even pulled out a few cabbages from Grandpa Zhao.
Meng Qidi winked at him and said, "Then it's up to you. Replace her with a fake one."
"Then you're really putting me in a difficult position." Ling Xiao clapped his hands and picked up the basket, "Let's go up there and take a look?"
"Aren't we digging bamboo shoots? We have them in our bamboo forest." Meng Qidi followed.
"There's no rush for that. We can just go down the mountain and dig it later."
He finally got to walk with her alone, why was he in such a hurry to go back? For the past two nights, he slept in the room opposite to her for fear of disturbing her.
"What else are you looking for?"
"Just take a walk, you might find something unexpected." Ling Xiao led Meng Qidi into the mountains with ease.
There was indeed an unexpected reward. The two of them came down the mountain half an hour later, their steps in disarray.
There were several bloody scratches on Ling Xiao's face and a few bumps on his forehead. Meng Qidi had Ling Xiao's coat on her head, and one of her two braids was loose.
Only after they reached the bamboo forest and were sure it was safe did they stop, gasping for breath and slowing down their breathing.
Meng Qidi looked up at the embarrassed Ling Xiao, and suddenly laughed and scolded, "Look at what you have done."
"Are you okay?" Ling Xiao took off the clothes on her head, shook off a few bees outside, walked around her with some concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was okay.
"I'm fine, you're the one who's in trouble. Doesn't it hurt here?" Meng Qidi pointed at the bumps on his forehead.
"No..." Ling Xiao paused, glanced at Meng Qidi quietly, and suddenly took a breath, "Hiss, it hurts a little."
"Then why are you still standing there? Go back quickly, I'll fix it for you when we get back." Meng Qidi quickly reached out to pull him, her face full of worry.
"The bamboo shoots haven't been dug yet." Ling Xiao was reluctant to let go of Meng Qidi's hand. Of course, he did not forget that he was here to dig winter bamboo shoots.
"What are you digging? Go back and fix the bump on your head. You can use rabbits instead of bamboo shoots, or just dig two at random." Meng Qidi pulled Ling Xiao and walked towards home.
The woman in front of him pulled him worriedly, and Ling Xiao looked at her with a silly smile.
Meng Qidi turned her head and saw his silly look. She said unhappily, "Come on, what are you laughing at? I think you are poisoned."
Poisoned? Ling Xiao frowned and said, "I feel a little dizzy. Xiaoqi, I can't walk anymore. What should I do?"
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him, snatched the basket and clothes from his hands, and threw him down. "If you keep pretending, I won't care about you anymore."
Pretending! She doesn't get dizzy when he doesn't say anything, but she becomes so silly when he does.
Ling Xiao coughed lightly, not daring to make a fuss anymore, and quickly caught up, "Xiao Qi, if you don't pull me, I really can't walk steadily."
"Then crawl back." Meng Qidi showed no mercy to someone who was pushing her too far.
He is taller than her when he stands up and walks faster than her, and he even wants her to carry him on his back. What is he thinking? He is so beautiful!
Ling Xiao was silent. This was not good. He had lost the big picture for the small one. He had been dragged along, and he thought that she would be soft-hearted and let him sit down, and then take care of him carefully and tenderly...
Now it's all right, I have to follow you back obediently...
"Done?"
Zhao Dezhong was sipping tea comfortably at the door. The little girl was lying on the stone table, fiddling with the chess pieces as if they were toys. When she saw his two apprentices coming back, he asked something.
"No, I'm going to get my things." Meng Qidi threw the things in the yard and went straight into the house.
"What's wrong with her? You pissed her off...Pfft...Hahahaha!"
When the old man saw Ling Xiao behind him, the tea in his mouth sprayed out.
"Grandpa Zhao is dirty." The little girl looked up in disdain. Seeing her uncle coming back, she climbed down using her hands and feet and ran over excitedly, "Uncle."
Ling Xiao's wounded heart was finally comforted. Just as he squatted down, the little girl stopped in front of him, looked at him strangely for a long time, and squeezed out a word.
"Uncle, ugly."
Ling Xiao...
Zhao Dezhong put down the teacup and came over, looking at Ling Xiao, then looked at the backpack they brought back.
"You guys dug out a beehive? Hey, a hornet's nest? That's awesome, kid."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out the small bucket. There was actually half a bucket of honey and several rows of honeycombs.
The old man was not polite anymore and quickly greeted, "Xiao Chengzi, ignore your uncle, come quickly, there are delicious foods."
When the little girl heard that there was food to eat, she stopped being curious about the swelling on her uncle's face and hurried over.
Zhao Dezhong took a small piece of honeycomb, cleaned off some impurities, and then brought it to the little girl's mouth, "Try it, it's sweet. Your uncle is really amazing. He even dares to dig out a wasp's nest."
Ling Xiao...
Not wanting to listen to his teasing, Ling Xiao went to the ditch near the door to wash his hands, and while the little girl wasn't paying attention, he picked up the backpack and went to the backyard.
He hasn't forgotten his mission and has to change the rabbit.
Meng Qidi came out with the medicine, but she didn't see anyone there. She asked unhappily, "Where's Ling Xiao?"
The old man looked up and said, "He was here just now, I don't know where he went."
Meng Qidi glanced at the yard and found that the basket was gone, so she turned and went to the backyard.
Ling Xiao had already changed the rabbit and returned to the back door, ready to kill it.
Meng Qidi hurried over and grabbed his arm, "Wait, apply the medicine first."
She didn't have medicine for bee stings, so she searched for it in the space for a long time. Fortunately, the space had everything, so she didn't have to worry.
Ling Xiao looked at her pitifully and said, "I can't wipe it myself."
"Squat down, you're too tall." Meng Qidi patted his shoulder, raised her head to apply medicine to him, her neck also hurt.
